3 Important Areas!What are we doing and What are we not doing!

• Interoperable Interfaces: allow a given problem to be easily run on any one of many different hosts

• Multidisciplinary Problems: A single job involves multiple different modules (say CFD and structures) which can on one or more machines

  • Call this a metaproblem

• Metacomputing: Linkage of multiple, typically heterogeneous, computers to solve a given problem -- this is often a metaproblem

  • Metacomputing often used for multidisciplinary applications!
